Akal Takht Jathedar: Matter of Beating Pathis to Be Discussed in Next Meeting of Sikh Presidium

AMRITSAR SAHIB : Led by Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee member Shingara Singh Lohian, as many as half-dozen SGPC members on Thursday met Sri Akal Takht Sahib appointed Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh to take up the issue of beating Pathis mercilessly by members of the Satkar Committee. They demanded rigid action against the Satkar Committee activists but the Jathedar said the matter would be discussed in next meeting of Panj Singh Sahiban (highest presidium of Sikhs). The Jathedar assured them that the issue would be sorted out after going through the entire matter in the meeting. However, he did not give any clue as to when the meeting would be held.Interestingly, Panj Pyaras (five beloved of Guru) of Sri Akal Takht Sahib also entered suddenly in the room where SGPC members were meeting with the Jathedar. These Panj Pyaras were sent to the village where the incident of beating pathis took place, by Akal Takht Sahib to prevent the Akhand Path Sahib at prohibited place in view of disrespect of Guru Granth Sahib. In view of situation turned tense, the Jathedar assured to take swift action.
